Privacy Policy

 

Last updated: 9/8/2026

 

This Privacy Policy explains how albertomanuzzi.com ("this website", "I", "me") collects, uses, and protects information about visitors. This website is owned and operated by Alberto Manuzzi, based in London, United Kingdom.

 

If you have questions about this policy, contact me using the contact me page.

 

1. Information I Collect

 

Contact Form

When you use the contact form on this website, I collect the information you submit, which may include your first name, last name, email address, and any message you write. I use this information only to respond to your enquiry (for example, about session work, licensing, or courses) and do not sell or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

 

Automatically Collected Data

Like most websites, this site automatically collects certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and time spent on the site. This is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see Section 3). This is all completely anonymous, it just tells me how many people visit the site, the location and time spent on each page :) 

 

We collect such Non-personal and Personal Information for the following purposes:

- To provide and operate the Services;

- To provide our Users with ongoing customer assistance and technical support;

- To be able to contact our Visitors and Users with general or personalized service-related notices and promotional messages;

- To create aggregated statistical data and other aggregated and/or inferred Non-personal Information, which we or our business partners may use to provide and improve our respective services; 

- To comply with any applicable laws and regulations.

 

Payments

 

Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.  

 

All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

 

2. How I Use Information

 

I use the information collected to:

- Respond to enquiries submitted through the contact form

- Understand how visitors use the site, so I can improve it (via analytics)

- Serve advertising, where applicable, through Google AdSense

- Comply with legal obligations

 

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

 

This website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. Cookies used on this site include:

 

- Essential cookies: required for the website (built on Wix) to function correctly.

- Analytics cookies: I use Google Analytics to understand visitor behaviour, such as which pages are popular and how visitors navigate the site. Google Analytics collects data such as your approximate location, device, and browsing behaviour on this site.

- Advertising cookies: This site may display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet. This may include personalised advertising, depending on your consent choices.

 

Why does Wix use cookies?

Wix uses cookies for important reasons, such as:

 

- To provide a great experience for your visitors and customers.

5. Legal Basis and Your Rights (UK GDPR)

 

As this website is based in the UK, personal data is processed in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Depending on the data in question, the legal basis for processing is either your consent (for cookies and marketing) or legitimate interest (for responding to enquiries and basic site analytics).

 

If you are located in the UK or EU, you have the right to:

- Request access to the personal data I hold about you

- Request correction or deletion of your data

- Withdraw consent for cookies/analytics at any time

- Object to processing based on legitimate interest

- Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk

6. Data Retention

 

I retain contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards for record-keeping, unless you ask me to delete it sooner. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention settings.

 

7. Changes to This Policy

 

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect new features (such as AdSense) or changes in the law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
